According to him, the uncommon synergy between Chief Wike and Senator Onyesoh has continued to strengthen the political stability of Rivers East Senatorial District and fostered unity among the various ethnic groups in the senatorial district.
The ELGA City Boy helmsman described Senator Onyesoh as a worthy son of Etche who has made the people proud at the National Assembly and deserves the continued support of all well-meaning people of the area.
Comrade Obi used the opportunity to welcome President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign team to Rivers State ahead of their political engagements on Saturday.
He said the people of Etche were fully prepared to receive President Tinubu and the APC campaign team with enthusiasm and hospitality, noting that Etche remained a critical political bloc in Rivers State.
He expressed confidence that the visit of President Tinubu to the state would further strengthen the Renewed Hope Agenda and deepen democratic dividends for Rivers people.
The coordinator further called on youths, women and elders of Etche to turn out en masse to welcome the President and to continue to support Senator Onyesoh, Chief Wike and the APC leadership in the state.
He maintained that Etche would continue to align with progressive leadership that guarantees development, peace and political inclusion for the people.
